Sinead O’Connor’s estate demands Donald Trump stop using her music at rallies

Sinéad O’Connor’s estate is demanding that former President Donald Trump stops playing the late singer’s music during his political rallies.

“Throughout her life, it is well known that Sinéad O’Connor lived by a fierce moral code defined by honesty, kindness, fairness and decency towards her fellow human beings,” the late singer’s estate and Chrysalis Records said in a joint statement to the Associated Press. “It was with outrage therefore that we learned that Donald Trump has been using her iconic performance of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ at his political rallies.”

“It is no exaggeration to say that Sinéad would have been disgusted, hurt and insulted to have her work misrepresented in this way by someone whom she herself referred to as a ‘biblical devil,’” the statement continued. “As the guardians of her legacy, we demand that Donald Trump and his associates desist from using her music immediately.”

The Post reached out to O’Connor’s estate for comment.

Trump, 77, was issued the cease-and-desist letter after the estate learned that the former president had been using the singer’s 1990 hit at various rallies.

The former “The Apprentice” host, who served as the 45th U.S. president from 2017 to 2021, is currently running for reelection in the 2024 presidential race.

O’Connor, who died of natural causes in July 2023 at the age of 56, was an outspoken critic of the 45th president.

“I actually do believe Donald Trump is the biblical devil, the f—ker,” O’Connor told Hot Press in 2020. “He’s not playing. Nobody should think he’s doing this just so he can get elected. He is devilish enough that he believes in this stuff.”

“They should have dragged him out of the White House at the point he separated the first child from their parents at the Mexican border,” she continued. “They should be non-violently dragging him out of the office. They should be going to him – like they did with Nixon – and saying, ‘You’re not fit for the f—ing office, get out.”

“Pretend you’ve had a heart attack, a series of mini-strokes, whatever you want, but get the f—k out!’”

At one point, O’Connor even stated that she truly believed Trump was “a Satanist.”

“I know this may sound extreme – I don’t really give a flying f—k what everyone else thinks – but I am convinced the man is actually a Satanist,” she told the outlet.

The “Drink Before War” singer’s estate has become the latest of several artists to issue a cease-and-desist letter to the former president.

In 2018, Pharrell Williams kicked things off when he asked Trump to stop playing his song “Happy.” Tom Petty’s family also slammed the business mogul for using “I Won’t Back Down” at a 2020 rally.

Johnny Marr, frontman for The Smiths, also condemned Trump publicly on X (formerly Twitter) for using their 1984 hit, “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want,” for an event in South Dakota.

Other artists who have banned Trump from using their songs include Adele, Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith, Neil Young, Rihanna and Ozzy Osbourne.

Broadway composer Andrew Lloyd Webber also issued Trump a cease-and-desist letter after he continuously played “Memory” from his infamous musical “Cats.”
